Breaking news: In yet another celebrity detention, tamil actor Mayilsamy was detained in Renigunta station. Andhra and TN CM to open statues in respective states!

Mayilsamy has confirmed to ‘Machi TV’ that he was indeed detained at Reningunta station. Mayilsamy said I even tried telling the railway police officials that ‘Enakku Mamtava theriyum’. But unfortunately they had seen the telugu dubbing of that Vivek movie and asked me back with trademark telugu tamil of ‘Aamava?’ followed by ‘Avangalukku unna theriyuma?’.

Mayil said he was detained because he had a common name and if I could mention the reason why I was in Renigunta. I could not convince them that since I did not get a direct ticket to Tirupati in Saptagiri express I had to travel unreserved in Mumbai express, get down at Renigunta and catch a bus to Tirupati. In fact there were some I-know-tamil-I-know-telugu guys from chitoor in the interrogation room who could vouch for me.

Mayilsamy said he was taken to a different room where other unreserved passengers were waiting. I tried sending messages to Sun Music, Isaiaruvi etc. It took me almost 2 hours. Later Mr Mayil said he was released after someone had a thiruttu VCD of the movie Dhool and the police officials watched it. Mayil also said ‘I am fine with this as am popular. I really felt bad for other unreserved passengers who were being checked for this independence day security.’ I do not understand why they should check actors?

Throughout the chat with Machi, Mayil was his usual self and did mimicry like YSR, Naidu etc and never lost his sense of humor. When we asked him if he could manage to get laddu from Tirupati, he said ‘I have Jilebi’ if you want.

Union Minister Ambika Soni was furious at this incident and said that all Tamilnadu policemen should detain telugu comedians. Since this issue could snowball into something major, TN CM Dr MK and Andhra CM Dr YSR met to resolve this issue. Late reports suggest that it has been decided to open a statue of Mayilsamy in Ongole and of Telugu comedian Brahmanandam in Vathalagundu to improve the relationship between the two states. Hindu Ram is getting ready with a boring 7 paragraph editorial on how this is going to be useful.

Fun apart, are they going to conquer ‘Mount Everest’? No. They don’t even conquer St Thomas Mount.
They have to do things like cross from one wall to another with help of a rope (Add a dozen helpers, ambulance for emergency situation, bed and sand cushion in case they fall down). So if you jump from one wall to other, then you are brave and you have no fear. There are some more amazing games like walking on a narrow wooden plank for 50 metres (Ofcourse with a lifeguard and 10 people around). If you do all this you are brave.

Funniest part is they replay (With english ezhavu music) when someone commits a mistake, as if it is the magic ball that bowled Mike Gatting. One soplaangi lady fell down from 3 feet and sprained her ankle. Immediately ambulance rushed in and she was interviewed from within the ambulance. That peter soplangi spoke as if she sustained a major injury while conquering mount everest.

As usual this program is aruthufied(anchored) by Anu Hassan, with amazing running commentary, who thinks wearing all black means being brave. Well only a brave person will wear all blacks in Chennai( Please exclude men in black like captain). Watching Hollywood movies in Tamil is a much more braver act than what these clowns do.

Did I tell you that this program is sponsored by some Parvathy hospital who specialize in Orthopedic treatment? Maybe Kilpauk Mental Hospital should have sponsored this program.

‘aNu aLavu bayam illai’ should have been named as ‘thuLi kooda mooLai illai’. Rejetted!

2. No one gets rejected. You can get rejected, and later come back as wild card, get re-rejected, get another wild wild card, get re re re rejected and so on.

3. How many rounds? Organizers are breaking their head to come up with new rounds. I won’t be surprised if they start a new round called as ‘yawn round’ in which they ask the singers to yawn. And the person whose yawn resembles closest to that of a fox howling is termed as the winner.

4. Drama. More than the talent of the singers the focus is always on ‘Why chinmayi is not hosting the show any more?’

5. Raginishree. What on earth is the controversy surrounding her? Why so much attention on her?

6. In what way it is different from Kolangal or Arasi? One guy was almost eliminated in western round. But he was given a second chance. But to see if he is good, all the people who had already qualified were asked to sing again. I think even K Balachandar’s movie relationships are clearer than the rules for Airtel Supersinger

7. Compering. Stupid accent. Calling everyone ji. I ji got ji bore ji of ji seeing ji everyone ji being ji referred ji as ji ji.

I think watching Sundar C scream ‘Hindustan petroleum la Hindukaluku mattum dhaan petrol podraangala’ once in 15 minutes is more entertaining than watching Airtel SuperSinger.

Rejetted!

“Terrorism continues to rear its ugly head in our midst,” he said in his speech. “It remains the single biggest threat to our stability. We cannot afford to lose the battle against the ideology of hatred and against all those who seek to destroy our social and societal (values),” he was quoted as saying by the agencies.

Is this war cry? Seruppu waru kooda idhoda effective aa irukum. I think Manmohan Singh cannot act like an innocent economist anymore. Eppavo sayam veLuthu poachu.

However, legal experts say the BJP MPs could get into trouble for accepting the bribe.

Cant they can publish this news without agreeing or disagreeing to what Arun Jaitley says? This fellow Rajd Sard and his group of comedians write stuff like this.

I just had a word with my editor-in-chief. He seemed quite disgusted. And he had every right to be. An hour back, there was a newsbreak that Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav had held a press conference to announce to the world that his MPs were being lured to vote against the Manmohan Singh government on the floor of the House. And the price offered was between Rs 25 and Rs 30 crores. The previous day, two MPs alleged that they had been contacted, and a price tag was attached to their votes if they decide to oblige the Opposition.

My editor-in-chief might be very angry with the state of affairs in the corridors of power, we as a member of the enlightened civil society might be disillusioned with our democracy, but an ordinary citizen is just not worried.

So it is actually the opposition who tried horse trading? Very nice And who is the editor in chief here? Rajd Sard. Why is he frustrated? Isn’t it the same guy who beamed in pride ‘The live pictures you see are seen all over the world. Via CNN-IBN’, when many people were killed in the 7th July bomb blast? Why was he frustrated?

And now when there is actually a sting operation which actually sounds quite interesting, his channel chickens out in the last minute. Why? By any chance were they trying to showcase that BJP was trying to buy SP and it actually backfired? God knows Or is it like what K says here?

Atleast Sun TV, Makkal TV and Hindu openly embrace their parties.

P.S. If Tamilnadu can be Tamilnaad, Rajdeep Sardesai can be Rajd Sard.

After all, where will professional sport be without media support, cooperation, and goodwill? Greed and arrogance and a total lack of common sense seem to be driving the IPL along a path of confrontation, which will surely bring on a media boycott.

And this man talks abouts being arrogant.

Meanwhile, what happened to their influence? They were the unofficial Murasoli for past few months and even went ahead and published a ‘Nellai maaNaadu special’. Tch Tch. So sad.

And the best part is, this news appeared in the chinese national newspaper published from chennai.

Actual Movie Duration – 2 hrs 37 minutes
Movie Duration in Sun TV -4 hrs 9 minutes
Advertisements – 40 minutes.
News* – 42 minutes

Movie was between 6.03-6.17, 6.24-6.41, 6.48-7.05, 7.11-7.26, 8.00-8.18, 8.25-8.40, 8.46-9.06, 9.13-9.26, 9.32 to 9.43, 9.49-10.02 and 10.08-10.12

Advertisements were between 6.18-6.23, 6.42-6.47,7.06-7.10,8.19-8.24,8.41-8.45,9.07-9.12,9.27-9.31,9.44-9.48,10.03-10.07

On an average, an advertisement lasted 20 seconds. So totally, we had to endure close to 144 advertisements (Not different advertisements)

The advertisement break can be split into two parts

1. Generic advertisements
2. Adverstiments of sponsors, who sponsored for the movie telecast. E.g. Castrol.

So, on every advertisment break you get to watch general advertisement for first 2 minutes and then the advertisements of the sponsors. Finally, just 1 minute before movie resumes Castrol Active’s ad was shown, followed by other advertisements for a minute.

Every time the movie resumes, it starts some 10 seconds before when it actually stopped. Continuity?

*-I didnt calculate the actual news duration and the advertisment duration during the news break. All times in P.M., IST.

This is what happened in Mumbai, yesterday. Now what do you expect when you read a report on this function? About the movie? Its music? No.

This is what TOI says.
“Sonu Niigaam seemed to make up for the well-covered event by his cleavage show as he strutted around in a body-hugging tee.”

Now lets replace the leader and the group who tried to kill the leader(?). Replace Mayawati with Narendra Modi. And read the same news item What will happen?

Lets come down south. Replace leader with JJ and the group with LTTE. What will happen? MK will write a poem

Finally, replace Mayawati with Sonia or Rahul. Terrorism will be resolved in India once and for all.

BTW, where is Arundhati Roy? Why is she not talking about the human rights of the LeT group?

1. Last tour for famous five
2. Weak Indian bowling
3. Down under
4. Will Sehwag open?
5. Pace and bouncy tracks
6. No fast tracks in India
7. Only 1 tour game

Tell something, which we all don’t know. Thank you.

“MUMBAI: Actor Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday apologised for the scuffle between media and security guards outside his residence here that left three photojournalists injured.”

I saw this disgusting episode on television. Aishwarya and Abhishek were on a car, and the car was trying to enter Amitabh’s house. Media people tried to run behind the car and get inside the house. Now what does the media expect the security guards to do? Open the gates so that they can enter? Or give everyone a friendly hug and say please don’t come? So isn’t it the mistake of the cameraman who tried to enter the house, when he very well knows he is not allowed?

Why should Amitabh apologize for this? Because he is in a industry that needs the help of media? Will someone expect Indian Railways to apologize to the person, who gets hit while trying to cross the railway track? If you want to break the law, better be prepared to pray the price for it!
